Student volunteers will be part of the organization of the symposium. They will play a major role in executing structural tasks – especially during the conference. Among other things, they hand out and check badges, monitor sessions, show people where to find the conference rooms, restaurant, bathroom, help with the microphone. Along with many others, the student volunteers put A LOT of effort into helping the symposium run smoothly.
Benefits of being Student Volunteers (SVs)?
Being an SV is an incredible opportunity to network with possible mentors, collaborators, and peers.
SVs are students! They are not trained event managers or AV technicians. They are volunteers and conference attendees. All SVs agree to an informal contract: in exchange of their time during the syumposium, the conference waives their registration fees while they will get the same benefits as the rest of the attendants (i.e. cocktail, lunches and banquet dinner). SVs still have to pay for their transportation and accomodation.
